1화: 매니저와 함께 지방 출장을 떠난 테라니시가 기이한 쥐의 결혼식 풍습을 마주하다

1

Teranishi is on a business trip to the country, and is being shown around town by his manager Mr. Sagawa. As the townsfolk decorate the street, Mr. Sagawa explains the town custom of the "Rat's Wedding" - marriages must be preceded by a death in the community. It's believed that the deceased reincarnates as the child born to the newlyweds, who is cared for by the community; this keeps the townsfolk close, and the town's population stable. A funeral procession with six decedents enters the crematorium, from which the nuptial parade and many wedding guests quickly emerge, carrying the bride on a palanquin, but no groom. Suddenly, the crowd surrounds Teranishi, congratulating him profusely, and locks him into the temple with the bride, who greets him with a twisted smile. He wakes up in a hotel suite. A woman emerges from the bathroom, and presents him with six ghastly babies in a basket, flashing her twisted smile and glowing eyes. (Source: Wikipedia)
